Raiders 11 - Jaguars 49

Clinched playoffs!!! Ranked 5th in the AFC but only because they didn't win their division. By wins they are 3rd. So the talk now is whether they will play the Steelers or the Browns in week one of the playoffs. If they win, they go to New England. What are their chances against a possibly unbeaten Patriots.

I like their chances. The Pats have a passing game. I've not been impressed with their running game by itself. They break away some good runs but it's entirely set up by the pass. That works unless the pass gets shut down. So, if the Jags can hold up and force them to run prematurely they can limit their production. The Jags have the total package this year, run, pass, defense and a mobile QB. Could make for an exciting game.
